Agreement with First Wesleyan's Mission/Beliefs

All families are required to read the school's Mission Statement and Statement of Faith and must understand that these statements are the foundation of the school's curricula, policies, and educational philosophy. Parents are also required to annually sign their agreement to have their children taught according to First Wesleyan's value system, Statement of Faith, philosophy of education, etc.

Lifestyle/Family Values

First Wesleyan Christian School's biblical role is to work in conjunction with the home to mold students to be Christlike. On occasion, the atmosphere, values, life-style, or conduct within a particular home may be counter or in direct opposition to the biblical lifestyle the school teaches. In such cases, the school reserves the right, within its sole discretion, to refuse admission to an applicant or to discontinue enrollment of a student whose home life openly conflicts with the values of FWCS.
